Improvements:
- Atlassian cloud site selection for connectors: Added cloud selection for Jira, Jira Sprints, and Confluence connectors so users can explicitly choose the target Atlassian site during setup.
- Hosted assistants and activity views: Improved thread loading, sub-task activity rendering, OpenClaw thread handling, and activity panel layout for a more consistent chat and task experience.
- Agent planning and memory controls: Added configurable retry and memory optimization settings in the UI and improved retry handling for deeper planning flows.
- Agent deployment readiness: Agno-backed agents now warm up required tables automatically during deployment to reduce first-run issues.
Bug Fixes:
- Safari chat composer sizing: Fixed Safari iframe textarea sizing issues in hosted assistants for a more stable chat input experience.
- General platform fixes: Included fixes for agent activity layout behavior, OpenClaw thread initialization, and other reliability issues across the platform.
Personal agents, Revamped studio, voice invocation, audit logs, Slack workflows
New Features:
- Revamped the Agent Studio experience: Simplified the agent builder, improved the configuration panel and save/publish flows, added trace views so you can build, test, and monitor your agent invocations at the same time, and refreshed several navigation and card experiences.
- Voice input and output for agents: Added microphone transcription in chat and a new voice output format so agents can return spoken responses.
- Audit logs for organizations: Added centralized audit logging, audit APIs, and an admin audit log experience for tracking important organization events.
- Slack workflow support: Added Slack workflow triggers, Slack integration panels, and structured JSON response handling for Slack workflow outputs.
- MongoDB connector and Redshift connector expansion: Added a MongoDB functions controller and expanded Redshift capabilities with async execution, connection validation, stronger pagination, and clearer error handling. See connector docs here: https://docs.xpander.ai/connectors
- Agent notifications settings: Added notification settings for agent execution outcomes, allowing the builder to configure a deterministic notification for every agent execution.
- Organization default LLM settings: Added organization-level default LLM settings and applied them across new agents, workflows, and related creation flows.
Improvements:
- OpenClaw and personal agent experience: Improved OpenClaw onboarding, focused OpenClaw settings on instructions, added supervised agent indicators, and refined personal and supervised agent organization in the UI.
- Billing and admin UI polish: Added a theme-aware billing portal and improved deploy and save interactions throughout the workbench.
- Agent container scheduling & metadata: Tuned agent container resources, improved multi-AZ pod distribution, and exposed the supervision flag in minimal agent payloads.
Bug Fixes:
- Agent card summaries: Fixed agent cards in the agent list to use the latest general instructions text when available for the description of the agent.
- Various platform and UI fixes: Included fixes for duplicate chat activity behavior, menu positioning, thread visibility for Agentic Workflows, and other reliability and usability issues.
- As always, our agents and humans continuously fix various bugs, and sometimes create new ones (that will be fixed in the next update.)
OpenClaw managed container runtime, onboarding flows, CloudFlare AI Gateway
New Product launch!
Introducing fully managed OpenClaw-based Personal AI Assistants: Every employee in your organization now gets their own AI assistant — powered by OpenClaw, managed entirely by xpander. No setup, no configuration, no infrastructure to maintain. Each assistant lives where your team already works — Slack, Teams, or voice — and can act across any connected enterprise system through xpander’s supervised specialized agents. IT deploys once; every employee gets a personalized, context-aware agent that delegates tasks, pulls data, and executes workflows on their behalf. It’s not a chatbot that answers questions. It’s an agent that does the work — governed by your policies, running on your infrastructure, and getting smarter with every interaction.New Features:
- OpenClaw agents (beta): Added end-to-end OpenClaw integration, including a dedicated scaffold container, xpander↔OpenClaw bridge, plugin-based tool execution, and OpenClaw-specific health checks.
- OpenClaw onboarding and channel setup: Added an onboarding wizard and workbench flows for OpenClaw container readiness and Telegram/Slack channel pairing and configuration.
- Cloudflare AI Gateway provider: Added Cloudflare AI Gateway as an LLM provider option across agents, workflows, and workflow nodes.
Improvements:
- Agent container reliability: Migrated agent containers from Kubernetes Jobs to Deployments with PVC-backed persistent storage and added periodic health reconciliation.
- Sub-agent discovery: Added a built-in capability for OpenClaw agents to discover and list available sub-agents from the agent graph.
- Workbench UX updates: Renamed “Task sources” to “Channels”, improved OpenClaw trigger UX, and enhanced activity/log views (including Markdown table rendering).
- Redshift ergonomics: Added connector-level path parameters for cluster/database/catalog and increased Redshift statement execution timeout.
Bug Fixes:
- Activity log pagination: Fixed page ordering and navigation semantics so newer messages appear first and paging behaves consistently.
- As always, our agents and humans continuously fix various bugs.
